Title: Outsourcing for Your Business

Subtitle: Everything You Need to Know About Successful Outsourcing

Author: Anthony Ekanem

Narrator: Dan Jones

Format: Unabridged

Length: 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-19-16

Publisher: Anthony Ekanem

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Outsourcing is the movement of workload to another source, which can provide assistance in that particular area for an agreed price either as a onetime service or as an ongoing complementing service. In doing so, the principal company can effectively save time, get staff to be more committed, and speedier work results.

The essence of outsourcing is simply engaging the services of an individual or organization outside your full-time staff to handle certain aspects of your business plan. These aspects may be public relations, marketing, clerical and administrative functions, or IT management. In fact, with today's virtual environment, there is really no part of the business that could not be outsourced effectively. Of course, the big question is whether or not there are any benefits to outsourcing, especially for people who are building their business on the Internet.

no compelling take aways for me

I wish there were more solid practical examples to her nebulous abstract generalities about storytelling. I guess she spoke about the importance of Storytelling more than how to be a convincing story teller which is what I was hoping for.

Release date: 10-20-15

Publisher: American Management Association

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Publisher's Summary:

Stanley McChrystal doesn't believe in extreme secrecy. Obviously there are limits, especially when it comes to national security, but keeping all information on a need-to-know basis requires someone knowing who needs to know. Wires get crossed, and the wrong decisions are made. Trust your team, whether in the military or in the office, to be able to handle the information they're given and to respond in an appropriate way.

This is ridiculous! The author can barely write in English. If you are interested in earning your PMP, this book will not help you in any way. It is titled in a way that will mislead you to think that it will be useful, but there is absolutely zero content that will help you become a PM. Lame!

Title: Marketing Skills for Product Managers

Subtitle: How Product Managers Can Use Marketing to Make Their Product a Success

Author: Jim Anderson

Narrator: Jim Anderson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-14-15

Publisher: Blue Elephant Consultiog

Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

At the heart of what it means to be a product manager lies the ability to market your product. No matter if you are trying to get people inside of your company to provide you with the resources or funding that your product needs in order to get out the door or if it's customers that you are after, you've got to be able to paint a picture of your product that makes people want it.

Product managers are not perfect, and when it comes to marketing our product, we do make mistakes. However, the key is to learn from both our mistakes and the mistakes that other product managers have made in order to ensure that we won't be repeating them. Not making mistakes is even more important now that the Web 2.0 has arrived. Everything that we do in terms of marketing our product can now be instantly seen by the rest of the world.

When we meet with customers, we present out product in the best light possible. More often than not, we use either PowerPoint or Keynote slides to do this. However, have any of us ever gotten any training on how to make really good slides? If not, then we should seek it out in order to help our products. How our products look on those slides is key to getting a customer to want the product. This means that we need a basic understanding of the color wheel and how different colors either work together - or don't!

Members Reviews:

Good insights, but short and superficial.

A short, concise overview of how to market products. In the short time at hand in this book the author had to choose between a great amount of subjects the few chosen subjects are shortly, but well explained. In my opinion the best explanations ore on the now vs. back in the 80ies or 90ies subject - of how many old-school marketing rules dont work anymore and what is to be done instead. On the technical side: the sound of the narrator (the technical part of it) sucks.

A sequel to his early classic text, Organization, John Child's new title provides a state-of-the-art guide to organizational management in today's world.

As in his earlier title, this authoritative new title - Organization: Contemporary Principles and Practice - addresses organizational issues in terms of how managers experience them and how MBA students can most effectively learn about them.

Read Reviews First

Would you try another book from John Child and/or Nick Mcardle?

As an organizational psychology doctoral student, I would have bought the actual book and not the audible version. It would have been cheaper and had more utility as a reference book.

What was most disappointing about John Childs story?

As it turns out, this is a book written by an Englishman using many English or European examples. Not exactly meant for American audiences. I asked my American professors, or business and organizational psychology, about the author, they said "Oh yeah, he's from the United Kingdom" and that his theories were outdated.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Nick Mcardle?

Having someone with and English accent, who uses English idioms and nuances makes it hard to listen to. As it turns out, this is a book written by an Englishman using many English or European examples. The audience for this type of book has the same ratio as there is from the American economy compared to the UK's. It is roughly 8:1.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Organization?

I would cut out the references to tables and figures in the book. Saying something like "According to Table X.1 there are five possible outcomes...." is a waste of my listening time. Also the constant reciting of acronyms is annoying. Sure, we all know what an MBA is. But beyond that the narrator throws out lots of acronyms that people may or may not remember from some preceding chapter.

Any additional comments?

Read people's reviews before you spend your money. It is like reading an instruction manual before you put together the Christmas bike for your child.

Though Abhishek and Abhinav are the founders of a financial services company, their journey had not been easy and they have had to face challenges and difficulties in order to become successful entrepreneurs.

Adding a lot of value and interest to the book is the character of Moojin, who with his views on spirituality and philosophy not only manages to put his point across in a valid manner, but he also makes his ideas highly relatable and engaging. Start-Up Sutra: What the Angels Won't Tell You About Business and Life is therefore not just based on entrepreneurship and business, but also has various aspects of spiritualism, philosophy and motivation.

Additionally, the book ends with an inspiring quote that states why entrepreneurship is so important in today's world. The author says that today both socialism and communism are not able to serve society, while Gandhism has failed in its mission.
